71. Reflecting on the verse ``fa-man tāba min ba'di dhulmihi wa aslaha fa-inna allāha yatūbu 'alayhi inna allāha ghafūrun rahīm'', what meaning is derived?
[(1)] Between sin and forgiveness there is no intermediate stage; repentance purifies hearts and removes sins from the heart.
[(2)] Between sin and forgiveness two stages are performed: God's grace of repentance and return from punishment toward divine kindness.
[(3)] Repentance is a door of mercy that is opened for those who have strayed and the only way to return from sin to obedience to God.
[(4)] Whoever repents like someone who has not sinned, their sins are immediately purified and their sins are transformed into good deeds.
